A member asked:

I shared a drink with someone hpv positive and i have a canker sore can i get it this way?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HPV transmission: There are well over 100 strains of HPV. HPV is not known to be transmitted through casual contact but by intimate skin-to-skin contact. Sharing a drink with someone who has tested positive for HPV would not be expected to result in transmission to another person

Dr Ferguson and another doctor agreed
